VP, Government and Public Affairs leaves behind stellar 17-year
legacy

The National Business
Aviation Association has announced that Pete West (photograph

and Public Affairs, effective November 1, 2004.

"It is difficult to overstate Pete's contribution to the
Association on behalf of the Membership over the last 17 years. He
has been a tireless and enthusiastic advocate for the business
aviation community and will be greatly missed," said NBAA Chairman
and interim President Don Baldwin.

"I have sincerely
enjoyed my work at NBAA but I have reached a point in my life and
professional career where I am looking forward to new
opportunities," said West. "I have agreed to assist new NBAA
President Ed Bolen and the team at NBAA through the convention, and
I will always be a strong supporter of the business aviation
community."
